are intel cpus beter for blender than amd cpus (no opinions aloud just facts)
As far as which is better for Blender, AMD or Intel, I don't really know. Beside, if the benchmark is using cycles, they might have been using GPU rendering.

As for why Intel CPUs tend to outperform AMD, the quick and dirty answer to this is that Intel has more money to spend on R&amp;D. There was a point in time where AMD had better CPU's than Intel (Atholon 64 vs Pentium 4), but this caused Intel to get their act together. AMD is making some nice improvements to their processors, but the resources they can invest in coming up with a better CPU doesn't even compare to what Intel can invest. Because of this, Intel is more likely to come up with a better CPU.
